330 .. $a Imagine that you are an environmentalist who passionately believes that it is wrong
to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. How do you convince someone
that a decision to drill is wrong? Debates about the environment and how humans ought
to treat it have gone on for decades, yet arguments in favor of preserving biodiversity
often lack empirical substance or are philosophically naïve, making them far less
effective than they could be. This book critically examines arguments that are commonly
offered in support of biodiversity conservation. The authors adopt a skeptical viewpoint
to thoroughly test the strength of each argument and, by demonstrating how scientific
evidence can be integrated with philosophical reasoning, they help environmentalists
to better engage with public debate and judiciously inform public policy. This interdisciplinary
and accessible book is essential reading for anyone who engages in discussions about
the value of biodiversity conservation. -- from back cover
